Boss Bottled Elixir Hugo Boss 2023

Here it is, the new flanker from Boss Bottled. But apparently Boss has changed its direction. Whereas in the past, flankers were often released that were very arbitrary, the focus now seems to be on higher-quality fragrances. And in this case, they have more than succeeded.
About the fragrance:
The fragrance starts with a good dose of incense and cardamom, which I found almost a little too much at first But then it becomes really interesting. For whatever reason, there's nothing in the ingredients about fruit and vanilla. And that's exactly what I perceive in combination with frankincense, which works perfectly in this combination.
It becomes a little woodier in the drydown, whereby the aforementioned combination is still preserved in the fragrance in a very acceptable way.
H/ S are above average. You will definitely stand out with this fragrance, but you should not overdose it. 4-6 sprays are enough to get you through the day. I can still smell it after 8 hours.
All in all, a very successful fragrance, which for me is similar to Dior Homme Intense (2011). But if you don't like the extremely powdery note of Dior, this fragrance is just right for you.
